Buffalo, NY hardcore upstarts, SPACED, have joined the Pure Noise Records roster and today they’ve announced the first release from the new team-up: the No Escape EP. Due out October 17th, the EP’s five songs are packed with stomping riffs and psych-tinged aggression that offer a perfect introduction to SPACED‘s unique brand of self-proclaimed “far out hardcore.” The group have also shared No Escape‘s lead single “Cause and Effect” and its accompanying music video, starring comedian Ian Fidance. The track hurls the listener from a pounding gallop into a climactic breakdown of phased-out guitars and vocalist Lexi Reyngoudt’s charismatic roar. “This song expresses the anger and frustration we feel about our current society and the norms that are placed upon us,” explains Reyngoudt. “We’re told to be quiet and just obey but we really should be fighting back and speaking our minds. ‘Cause and Effect’ is an anthem for the times: ‘You pushed us too far; now it’s time we push back.'” Watch the “Cause and Effect” music video HERE or by clicking the image below.

Now No Escape makes good on that evolution, pushing both the heaviness and their unique effects-drenched textures even further than ever before. Recorded by producer Jay Zubricky (Every Time I Die, Terror, Age of Apocalypse) the EP captures the band’s freewheeling sonic attitude but also the defiant core at the center of Reyngoudt’s lyrics. “[No Escape is] about feeling suffocated by our everyday lives. We grind and work our jobs while we’re home, and then grind some more out on the road. All of this is happening while the world feels like a daunting thundercloud over our heads. I wrote the lyrics of this album as an outlet to express my current feelings about what is going on. However, while I feel down about things like that, I still feel lucky to be surrounded by the hardcore community and people who will speak up with me.” No Escape track list:
